Hi Im Sharon and Im an alcoholic.

By the Grace of my HP and people
like you here in SR I havent found
it necessary to pick up a drink of
alcohol since 8-11-90.

For that and you I am truely grateful.


Do you remember your last drunk?
or drug usage?

I do....and today just as vivid in
my mind as ever. That is one
thing I never wish to shut the
door on.

However remember when u drank
or use and how good it was at the
beginning? The taste, the feel etc.

Then what happened over the years?

It all turned on us. I couldnt drink
sucessful anymore without getting
sick. Throwing up. Hang overs that
had my head spinning like a top.

The moodiness towards people.

As time went on I couldnt get that
joy I use to have from it. Alcohol
seem to get me into more trouble
and I just couldnt understand why.

Dont drink and drive they say and
yet I avoided the warning and sure
enough I had my first ride in and EMS
and for me cant remember a thing.
Darn-it...

10 days and they removed my spleen
so i wouldnt bleed to death. Man
was I a mess.

So,did I remember how much fun
that was coming home at 2am and
running off the road hitting a concrete
culvert sitting on top the ground?

Heck no.....

I swore one more time that that
was the end of my drinking.....right.

That was Feb 90. Aug 90 I healed
perfectly and was right back at the
same club again..... You dummy.

This was the last time there as the
next turn of events led me into rehab
via a family intervention.

18 years later and here I am reflecting
on the insanity of my drinking career.

Sure it was fun at first then in time
it became more of a nightmare.

Thanks to an AWESOME 12 step
program we have to follow each day
and sharing my ESH with u guys, and
giving away what was so freely passed on
to me just so i can stay sober one more
day.

Never do i wish to return to that
craziness....today I live and reap
the rewards of being happy joyous
and free.

Thanks for letting me share.
